It is implemented through the executive orders of the President. Those orders form a comprehensive volume of law known as the Manual for Courts-Martial. The UCMJ is usually revised due to changes in the amendments to the U.S. Constitution. Military vitizens have the same rights afforded to U.S. citizens by the U.S. Constitution.
